Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi Tikimate Welcome to the group.... In answer to your question, I think it's perfectly natural to get angry at people for eating meat - particularly when you've only fairly recently learned all that's wrong with doing so. I don't tend to get angry nowadays, but then I see more and more people going veggie / vegan, which can only be a good sign :-) BB Peter On 23/05/06, tikismate <tikismate wrote: Hello all,New to this group, but not veganism.I have been vegan for about 9 months and have read just about all vegan literature there is because education is a great thing, now whenpeople ask me why i have facts not... because.But anyways, has anyone else been through periods where they are justangry at people for eating meat.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 howdy and welcome to the group i'm sure most everyone prolly gets angry at one time er another but i guess the thing to realize is, remember 10 months ago? i guess if we could focus the anger toward positive stuff easier said then done... personally, i just go outside and scream at the butterflies if i need to they don't mind, and i either feel dumb er relieved..either way.... cheers fraggle >tikismate <tikismate >May 22, 2006 5:42 PM > > First Post....

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi - welcome to Vegan Chat. I don't get angry, but I do feel sad about it, and sometimes disappointed in people who are otherwise caring. I try not to feel this way though, as it doesn't achieve anything. Jo - " tikismate " <tikismate Tuesday, May 23, 2006 1:42 AM First Post.... The angry vegan Hello all, New to this group, but not veganism. I have been vegan for about 9 months and have read just about all vegan literature there is because education is a great thing, now when people ask me why i have facts not... because. But anyways, has anyone else been through periods where they are just angry at people for eating meat. I know that anger isnt the way to get through to people but its very hard not to get angry. -tikimate- To send an email to - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi Fraggle I think the butterflies would mind - they would find it pretty scary! I guess if they don't know you're shouting at them it would be okay :-) Jo - " fraggle " <EBbrewpunx Tuesday, May 23, 2006 4:40 PM Re: First Post....

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I hope you are right, the last statistics I saw had a downturn in people going vegan and vegetarian, very disheartening. I dont get realy angry anymore either, I just feel sorry that they dont or wont think about what they are doing. I feel kind of sad for them............

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi Tikimate and WELCOME! I don't think I have ever gotten angry, just tired and disgusted. I live with two carnivores tho, so it happens daily here unfortunately.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 hi tikimate, I myself, go through many periods sometimes in one day. sad, angry, hopeful, optimistic and then back to sad. it is ok. any little thing that we can do helps, your drop in the bucket. even if it is just a casual word that you say to your neighbor, like.. when my neighbor asked us how our thanksgiving went. our thankgiving dinner was delicious! and then when they say " who cooked the turkey " you say, turkey?? actually we had the best (insert favorite dishes)and blah, blah, blah. I hope that you stay and not be one of those shy people that posts once and then never again. maybe they are not shy and maybe it was something that I said? , " tikismate " <tikismate wrote: > > Hello all, > New to this group, but not veganism. > I have been vegan for about 9 months and have read just about all > vegan literature there is because education is a great thing, now when > people ask me why i have facts not... because. > But anyways, has anyone else been through periods where they are just > angry at people for eating meat.
